Subject: RE: Use of Piano in folk/trad music?
In 1972 I recorded Bill Dore at his home in Leafield, Oxfordshire. Bill was a well-known local piano player and he can be heard singing the song "Jolly Jorge" to his own piano accompaniment on the Musical Traditions double CD "Up in the North and Down in the South" (MTCD 311-2). Then there was Brian Felgate who accompanied the Suffolk melodeon player Dolly Curtis and who can be heard on the Veteran CD "Who Owns the Game?" (Veteran VT130CD).
I also remember that Ferrium College in Virginia issued an LP of piano related old-timey recordings some years ago, though I am not sure if this has been reissued on CD.
